Job summary

We are recruiting Clinical Fellows (ST5+ or equivalent) in Anaesthesia to apply for our CESR fellowship training programme.

x 2 to commence 3 February 2027

x 2 to commence 4 August 2027

This is a new initiative within Barts Health Trust and is designed as a ‘run through’ 3-year training scheme, set across 4 of our hospital sites; St Bartholomew’s Hospital, Newham University Hospital, Whipps Cross Hospital and The Royal London Hospital. This is offered as a 24-month contract to rotate through the hospitals, with an additional 12 months to support Specialist Interest Areas (S.I.A’s) as required. We will follow the current training programme requirements, as set out in the 2021 CCT in Anaesthetics Curriculum guidance for stages 2 and 3 to include both the clinical domains and the General Medical Council’s (GMC) generic professional capabilities. The programme has been set up to give fellows the opportunity to develop all the necessary competencies and collect all the required portfolio evidence to support an application for GMC Specialist Registration via the Portfolio route. The final decision to grant Specialist registration lies with the GMC and the Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCOA).

Main duties of the job

On successful completion of our 3-year programme, the fellows will have an opportunity to apply for one of our Trust-wide Fellow posts, whilst awaiting the Portfolio application process by the GMC.

These fellows will be appointed to the anaesthetic department and will be accountable to the Clinical Director within each site. Clinical Supervisors will be allocated on commencement of the job and Educational Supervisors will be allocated for each hospital within the rotation.

Applicants should be fully registered with the GMC; allowing them to work in the UK, and have an FRCA or equivalent qualification, along with at least 2 years anaesthetic experience in the National Health Service (NHS), at the time of interview.
